Days of our lives

It has been many moons since our last entry....and a lot has happened...namely the addition to our family of little Amelia Suzie Sarah Brooks....(insert gushing parental remarks here: ), yes I could start a whole new blog around her, but no won't do that. Will suffice with posting stacks-o-pics of her on this blog. Also, wanted to revive this blog as Nic, Amelia and I are heading o/s again for trip to Israel (with a leisurely stop in sunny - yet civil-war-ridden, yet beacon-to African-liberators - Sth. Africa) on the way back. Can anyone say "Baby-Elephant tusk key-rings and matching tiger-cub carry-on-bags"...? Na, just kidding, we'll bring back the baby tiger-cubs alive and healthy to roam free in....our backyard...
